Answer
- B A designated position intended to protect a runway, an obstacle limitation surface at which taxiing aircraft and vehicles shall stop and hold, unless otherwise authorised by the aerodrome control tower

A holding point is a designated position that protects a runway or an obstacle limitation surface. Taxiing aircraft and vehicles stop there and wait until aerodrome control authorises otherwise. It is not a take-off position on the runway.
